1992 Orion 05.501 (9601-9660)

These models have Gulton signs, which is theoretically, an early incarnation of the Luminator destination sign. Nearly all of these models have been refurbished and painted into the current color scheme. Very few remain in the old grey bottom, black back color scheme. 9619 and 9620 have suburban style seating.

2000 Orion 06.501 (2000-2099)

This is Metro's first and currently only fleet of low floor buses. They have the new Luminator signs with LED inserts. They are very easy to see in low light and much better than the Vultron signs. Metro supposedly purchased some New Flyer D40LF CNG buses for the future.
